Allison is best known from the acclaimed duo The Pierces – a group she formed with her sister Catherine. Named “Breaking Artist To Watch” by Rolling Stone, The Pierces went on to release 5 albums. They toured the world with artists like Coldplay and Lissie, and their hit song ‘Secret’ served as the theme for ABC Family’s series Pretty Little Liars.

With the release of her forthcoming album Year of The Rabbit, Allison now stands alone in the spotlight.

“I’m so excited to be in the company of such iconic artists. I love the eclectic nature of Sony Masterworks and couldn’t be happier to have found a new home with a label that understands and is thriving in the evolving landscape of our business,” says Allison.

Allison Pierce (of the Pierces) will be joining Joseph Arthur on his summer tour, in support of her solo debut, Year of the Rabbit(Sony Music Masterworks).

“[Allison Pierce] polishes up a soft Americana sound that situates her comfortably alongside modern, folk-leaning country stalwarts like Kacey Musgraves and Ashley Monroe. (Which is to say: She’s great.),” writes NPR Music, in a ‘Songs We Love’ piece on Allison’s song “Fool Him.” “Pierce’s full-length solo debut, Year Of The Rabbit, comes out Friday, and it’s a gem — a big, consistently ingratiating batch of brightly rendered, sweetly hooky songs about growing up, getting smart and refashioning yourself into the person you need to be.”

“This album feels like the most important creative outpouring of my life so far,” says the Alabama-born Pierce, who teamed with producer Ethan Johns (Ryan Adams, Ray LaMontagne, Paul McCartney) to launch the second half of her career with Year of the Rabbit, following two decades with her sister in the acclaimed duo, The Pierces. “It feels like the most genuine expression of who I am, musically and personally.”

Recorded in analog straight to magnetic tape, the album was mostly performed by Allison and Ethan at Hollywood recording mecca Sunset Sound (much in the same spirit as Johns produced Ray LaMontagne’s debut LP, Trouble). The only outside contributors were Gabe Witcher, who supplied fiddle on two tracks, and Greg Leisz, who played pedal steel on another.

“Over the years, I’d write these songs knowing they weren’t Pierces songs, and I collected them in anticipation of the day when I could record them myself,” says Pierce. “I’d envisioned the whole thing, so I was ready, and waiting patiently for the opportunity to make it.”
